Pros

84 Lumber is one of the best environments that I've ever worked in. I love my coworkers, my job, and most things about the company. There is a lot of opportunity to move up within the company.

Cons

The company pays people significantly less than the rest of the industry. The pay does not reflect the amount of hours that are worked. Speaking of hours, the hours are TERRIBLE. 7-5 Monday through Friday. There is almost no structure, meaning that the field guys can basically do whatever they please and they leave headquarters employees to clean up their mess. The field guys will do anything they can to manipulate the system and are never held accountable which can be really annoying. Health insurance is super expensive and is not taken out pre-tax. Oh, and if you don't want to put an 84 Lumber bumper sticker on your car don't apply.

Pros

Excellent management, people take an active interest in your long term development in house.

Cons

Inflexible corporate expectations, reform and proposals don't appear to travel far past people you can see.

Pros

Good benefits, pay is decent. If you work from home FT as a Manager , you can also run your own business while on the clock get paid for it. Who wouldn't want to work there.

Cons

You can work your butt off, put in more hours than you should and get no respect in return.
